Turn the pre ON 1st, THEN the power amp. Reverse the procedure when powering off. With the power amp on 1st, it of course ampliflies the pre's turn-on pop or click which the speakers naturally react to. Turning the Volume down before powering off (as with Tuner) will also mute that pop. When a power switch is thrown, an arc of 120vac electricity jumps between switch contacts & it is this arc that produces the signal you see & hear.
